Nikki's Hair & Make-up Behind The Chair

Rich, dimensional and lived in.

Wedding hair that supports and flows and doesn't steal the show ❤️ That dress though ✨!!

Wedding hair that flows with you and supports your dress, not steal the show 😉

Warm copper base with golden blonde hues...

Feeling the warmth on this rainy cold day.

Falling 🍁 into jeans never looked so good.

Reposted from Hey Everyone
I'm here to reintroduce myself. I'm Nikki and have been a stylist for over 15 years. My fiance and I have been together almost 11years and have two amazing dogs.
I'm also a color educator for Lanza, which is a color/product line we use in salon. I thrive doing Blonding, Color & Corrective work. I love learning, I'm constantly taking classes online that ensure the most UpTo date techniques, theory knowledge and never shy away from growing. Knowledge is power, I want to share it with everyone.
I'm very meticulous in everything I do. I find reward in not just transforming my clients but also educating them and bringing them on the journey. My passion is making your hair dreams come true and I can't imagine anything else I'd rather be doing. It's important to find a stylist that is proficient but also creative, someone that listens and articulates so you can feel assured you're in the right hands. I believe my work speaks for itself and will continue to keep myself educated in all things hair color to deliver quality and style to all my clients.

Beautiful fiery copper on my main squeeze!

HOME | nikkimarkowski Nikki has been my hair stylist for over 10 years! She is confident, friendly and extremely skilled. I would highly recommend her for a cut, color or style!

Creating this warm blonde look took more effort then my usual cool tones. I had to really push myself to trust my gut and my formulation. It's easy and comfortable to keep doing the same thing. It's more productive and creative to push yourself to try new things.

Cool blonde for the win!

Color melt on a grown out full mohawk! I'm not going to lie, taking the right photo can be difficult. I have 40 photos on my phone of this one head of hair and this is the only one that I liked from the back... Upon further inspection there's a piece of hair out of place 🤷‍♀️ guess what, I'm not a professional photographer so I won't claim to be 🤣 this is non filter just a ring light and a camera phone with a novice photo taker . _________ This beautiful color was a fun appointment and so much color layering happened here!

My Client surprised me with wanting a total makeover! Post pregnancy had her growing out her hair and all of a sudden, she booked in for highlights. Instead, we decided to totally shake up the usual and do a full bleach out. _________ In picture number two you'll see that she's got over a year of growth. It's not a simple add lightener to the new growth and process. _________ Step 1: 20 volume to mid shaft up ( cold area) to 1 inch within root area. (The cold shaft will take longer to process than the hot root area so doing this first allows for a more seamless bleach out. ) After applying that whole head with fine sections leaving out the root, ( took about an hour) then go in with 20 vol and do the root ( hot area). Process 40 min after final application area at root. _________ Step 2: SHAMPOO ultimate treatment then remove as much moisture as possible and towel dry. Well, considering how light she is naturally you'd think we'd be done and ready to tone ? WRONG. She barely budged past a highlighter yellow/gold level 8. Luckily I had done the midshaft first so the root and the midshaft were much closer together in tone. _________ Step 3 : we know she has fine hair and we don't want to over process her or damage the hair she has currently. So, I go in with a damp root application with 20 volume and run it through the ends too for 45 min. Doing it on damp hair allows me to add a heavy amount of ultimate treatment and healing oil to help protect the ends from over processing while I re lighten everything and damp hair help it stay slow and steady with more movement of lightener __________ Step 4: Rinse, ultimate treatment and TONE! Using lanza liquids to maintain depth and rich shiny tonality but to keep irritation to a minimum on the scalp due to small amount of ammonia in our permanent color can irritate any sensative scalp ( 2 bleach outs on any hair can make anyone sensative) TONER: 09P (2 oz)/010G 1 (oz)/08A (.5 oz)+010A (.5 oz) 20 min process . Hair in great condition ___________ Step 5: Shampoo/condition with color care and dry and cut off 6 inches of postpartum baby grabbing hair ___________ Total process took 4 hours

Here's a better photo. I was exhausted when I posted the last photo of this so here's a better shot! I'm more rested now after that long day at work lol

Today was the day I transformed @tats_faceology back to a fierce 🍒 red bombshell. __________ Step 1:Malibu CPR was used to help remove the top layer of dark color and see how much color could be removed gently before diving into the correction with decolorizer. Under heat for 45 min, rinse and shampoo 3x with clarifier. __________ Step 2: Lanza decolorizer and 10 vol on Damp hair to protect integrity and have easy move ability if product for mid shafts and ends. 1 hr process after last section __________ Step 3: rinse, treat with Ultimate treatment and applied 10 vol decolorizer on damp hair at roots for 25 min. ___________ Step 4: rinse, treat with Ultimate treatment and apply Root color of 6rr 10 vol at root and pull through ends. 30 min process. ___________ Step 5- rinse, shampoo and condition with color care. Glaze with Red Vibes to even out root to end, add depth and shine and solidify color retention. 20 min on damp hair ___________ Step 6: rinse, condition and dry ❤️
